This is a very popular site for kayakers and hikers. Best access for paddlers if through an NPS gate at the lower parking lot. Boats need to be carried across a bridge and down to the river.

The parking area is designed to handle more than 20 vehicles . Access here was closed for several years due to extensive damage from hurricanes, but it has recently reopened.
